Communication techniques

verbal communication is a technique which is the most commonly used as you can communicate with the other person freely and without the hassle of using the internet etc. You can also communicate by telephone. This is useful because if you need to talk to someone who you cannot reach physically, you can ring them up which is reasonably fast and is simple. You can also communicate by email. This is extremely fast, isn't hard to do, and can pass information to a lot of  people in minimal time. Another way in communication could be through visual such as presentations. This can be useful when there is a problem verbal communicating such as a language barrier, you can explain yourself through pictures and animations.

Verbal communication is the best effective communication. This is because you can hear the way they talk so you can tell how they feel about the situation such as raising their voice for anger. You can also tell by their body language how they feel and act to the situation such as having an extremely laid back attitude could show the lack or care to the situation. The downfall of verbal communication is the language barrier. This is when your partner may not be able to understand you because they may not understand your language. This can be when visual communication (such as a slideshow) can come in to explain your point as they may understand pictures better than words.

To give constructive feedback effectively you should always tell the truth and not lay off them because they are your friend, give them the straight forward answers. A way to recieve good constructive feedback would be asking a large group of people the same question(s) and getting them to right down their thoughts, giving you a lot of data to work with to see which was the most common answer and working it out from there.

The best way to pass on your knowledge on a subject when communicating, would be using both visual and audio communication. So as your showing images to people best suited to visual communication, you can us a verbal communication to pass your knowledge to people best suited to auditory communication.
